"BOSTON, May 1 [1897]. --- ... The boat [Hazard #480s] in the same [knockabout] class which the Herreshoffs have built for H. M. Sears of this City is ready for launching, but will not be put over just yet, as her owner will wait for W. O. Gay's boat [Fly #485s] to be finished, when a race to Boston round the Cape will be in order. The Gay boat will be ready about the middle of May. The fourth Herreshoff knockabout [Sally III #482s], built to the order of D. C. Percival, Jr., will be launched early in May. ..." (Source: Anon. "Trial of the Cockatoo. Herreshoff's Knockabout Built for C.S. Eaton Sails Well." New York Times, May 2, 1897, p. 4.)

"Bristol, R. I., May 4 [1897]. --- Two more of the four 21-foot knockabouts ordered from the Herreshoffs by Boston yachtsmen were launched this morning, the Hazard [#480s] for H. M. Sears, who last year owned and raced the Water Lily, and the Sally III [#482s] for D. C. Percival Jr. who thus comes into possession of the third boat which he has owned and raced in the class.
With C. S. Eaton's Cockatoo [#483s] delivered to her owner and on her way around the cape, this leaves only the boat [#485s Fly] for W. O. Gay uncompleted. There has been some delay in finishing her, and it is possible that she may not be delivered in time for the race around the cape with the Hazard which had been proposed by the owners.
Sally III is in every way a duplicate of the Cockatoo, except possibly slight changes in the sail plan. Hazard is, however, a bit different in design, having less displacement, a flatter floor and generally a closer approximation to the fin keel type. The differences do not show much above water, except that the Hazard is a little longer over all. Outwardly the boats are so much alike that it will take close watching to tell them apart when under way.
The Gay boat is to be a duplicate of the Hazard in model, but will have a racing cockpit and no cabin.
The boats are painted white, and look able and speedy." (Source: Anon. "Two More Knockabouts. Only One Boat Ordered by Boston Yachtsmen from the Herreshoff's Remains to be Launched from Bristol." Boston Globe, May 5, 1897, p. 9.)

"... Jilt [#493s], W. O. Gay's Herreshoff design, which headed the record list last season, will again be raced, and her owner expects a fair share of wins even with a second-year boat. Typhoon [#495s], third on the list, has been sold by B. V. R. Thayer to 'Reggie' Boardman, and will be raced. Hazard [#480s], sold by H. M. Sears to Carl Hodges, will also be in the field, and should prove no mean antagonist in the latter's hands. ..." (Source: Anon. "Yachts and Yachtsmen. Continued Popularity of 21-Foot Raceabouts. Fleet of at Least a Dozen, New and Old, Assured for Season's Racing." Boston Globe, February 12, 1899, p. 15.)

"[Item Transcription:] Our committee and the Knockabout Ass[ociation]s committee meet next week and I have seen them all and are of one mind. That you can best suggest any any[sic?] change in the percent restrictions that will tend to equalize the speed of the centreboards and keel boats. In Buzzards bay we are all very desirous to keep our boats from drawing too much water. 5ft even will be very inconvenient at times and therefore they want to stick to the centreboard type if it is possible to make it as fast and yet they do not want to sacrifice their speed for the sake of keeping the centreboard type.
Therefore can you not suggest any clause that you think may benefit the centreboard a little, as today it looks as if keels were unquestionably faster (in light winds), and mail it to me for the committee to adopt.
The AMANITA a wide centreboard boat (9ft) from our shore gave the HAZARD [#480s] quite a beating in a match yesterday and the race quite clearly demonstrated that she was an abler boat in a strong breeze than HAZARD. The time in the papers did not clearly show the result.

Supplement

From the 1920 and earlier HMCo Index Cards at the MIT Museum
  • Note: The vessel index cards comprise two sets of a total of some 3200 cards about vessels built by HMCo, with dimensions and information regarding drawings, later or former vessel names, and owners. They were compiled from HMCo's early days until 1920 and added to in later decades, apparently by Hart Nautical curator William A. Baker and his successors. While HMCo seems to have used only one set of index cards, all sorted by name and, where no name was available, by number, later users at MIT apparently divided them into two sets of cards, one sorted by vessel name, the other by vessel number and greatly expanded the number of cards. Original HMCo cards are usually lined and almost always punched with a hole at bottom center while later cards usually have no hole, are unlined, and often carry substantially less information. All cards are held by the Francis Russell Hart Nautical Collections of the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Mass.

From the 1930s L. Francis Herreshoff Index Cards at the Herreshoff Marine Museum
  • Note: The L. Francis Herreshoff index cards comprise a set of some 1200 cards about vessels built by HMCo, with dimensions and / or ownership information. Apparently compiled in the early 1930s, for later HMCo-built boats like the Fishers Island 23s or the Northeast Harbor 30s are not included. Added to in later decades, apparently by L. F. Herreshoff as well as his long-time secretary Muriel Vaughn and others. Also 46 cards of L. F. Herreshoff-designed vessels. The original set of index cards is held by the Herreshoff Marine Museum and permission to display is gratefully acknowledged.
